Not really a question as much as a comment/complaint.
This morning when I clicked on File Explorer, it went into some sort of rebuilding mode ("working on it" or something like that) -- where the address bar starting painting/filling-in with a green bar. Nothing was on the left side of the screen except "Quick Access". This went on of over 3 minutes and never did complete. I killed the program and tried re-launching it -- with the same results. When I clicked on the "X" in the address bar, I was asked if I wanted to kill the Quick Access building (or something like that).
After killing File Explorer 3, maybe 4 times, it locked up my whole machine -- nothing worked -- except CTL-ALT-DEL. From there, I was able to initiate a Restart from the little Power Icon in the bottom right-hand corner. BUT then I was informed that I could not Restart because of 2-Program Managers and a Task Manager running (whatever the Program Managers are). I was also given the opportunity to "Restart anyway" -- which I took.
OK, not through yet because Windows 10 locked up in some sort of restart loop (restarting message with the little dots going in a circle). After 10 minutes of this, I was forced to do a Power OFF/ON to get control of my machine back.
I have seen this green bar being filled in delay before -- not often, but rather rarely. So what is going on MS -- why did File Explorer not work right in the first place (i.e. the green bar taking minutes and never finishing). As I mentioned, this is rare, but it does keep occurring.
If anybody has any insight into what is going on here, you can let me know (because I really didn't do anything funny to cause this) -- and there wasn't any other thing I know of to get File Explorer to load correctly. The main reason I am posting this is in case there are any other "Me Too's" out there experiencing the same phenomenon.
Posted as a Question -- should it have been a discussion?
